EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 29 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 4 (1873) showcases the intricately detailed hand-coloured lithograph of the Little Bittern, Ixobrychus minutus. This beautiful illustration captures the vibrant orange and brown plumage of this elusive bird, with its distinctive long, thin bill perfectly rendered. The Little Bittern is a member of the Ardeidae family, known for its exceptional camouflage, making it a master of daytime concealment among the reeds. John Gould's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the way the Little Bittern is depicted perched on a branch, its long, slender legs dangling in the water, ready for its next strike. The artist has expertly captured the bird's locomotion, with its body coiled and poised for action. The Little Bittern is a fascinating creature of the avian world, with its unique appearance and elusive nature. This hand-coloured lithograph is a testament to the skill and artistry of the nineteenth century, offering a glimpse into the natural world of over a century ago. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring the Little Bittern to life, making it a must-have for any bird enthusiast or collector of historical illustrations.
